  ABSTRACT={An intelligent robot, operating in an external environment that cannot
     be fully modeled in the robot’s software, must be able to monitor the success
     of its execution of a previously generated plan. This paper outlines a unified
     formalism for describing and relating the various functions of a robot operating
     in such an environment. After exploring the distinction between the external
     world and the robot’s internal model of it, and the distinction between actions
     that interact with the world and the robot’s descriptions of those actions,
     we formalize the concepts of a plan and of its execution. Current developments
     at Stanford Research Institute, and the benchmark idea of an "ultimate"
     rational robot, are both analyzed in this framework.},
